Family came to town

We enjoyed a great four days with our first visitors. T-man's sister and her husband came to visit a few weeks ago.  We wish they could have stayed longer but alas there is much to see in Europe.  They left their little munchkins at home much to the disappointment of their cousins, but brought along soon to be number 4 :)

 A trip to Bath - Once a posh resort of the Romans circa 70 AD and built over the only natural hot springs in Great Britain.

 We ate dinner at "Yak Yeti Yak" a Tibetan restaurant.  It was a fun experience.  Gracie made it known that the incense was a "yucky" smell but the food was good.  And sitting cross-legged on the floor helped us get even more into the experience.
 We took a ride on the "Brighton Wheel." A special treat for the kids.
 Beautiful Brighton seashore.
 We discovered these gardens in Rottingdean.  Apparently Kipling lived there for a while. It was a series of  about four gardens separated by stone walls and cute door ways.  Letty wanted to live there (she must be craving some grass).
A tourist stop at StoneHenge
 Having fun with Uncle W

 Arundel Castle, former home to friend of William the Conqueror, the Count of Norfork.  Unfortunately it was closed for the season to reopen on April 1.  But we enjoyed the town quaint hilltop town.
 Cute girls holding hands.

Looking down on Arundel castle

On the way home T-man had to stop and check out what this was.  It is a chapel attached to a private boarding school called Lancing.
